‘We can’t be isolationists,’ Obama tells cadets By JOSH LEDERMAN
“We can’t be isolationists. It’s not possible in this globalized, interconnected world,” Obama said. “In these uncertain times, it’s tempting sometimes to try to pull back and wash our hands from conflicts that seem intractable, let other countries fend of themselves.” Calling isolationism a “false comfort,” he added that history had shown how “oceans alone cannot protect us.” For Obama, the speech was part of a tradition of addressing one of the military’s four service academies at graduation. His outdoor address ended with a dramatic Thunderbird flyover as cadets tossed their caps — a moment later marred by news that one of the jets had crashed shortly after completing the maneuver. Obama was at the stadium at the time of the crash. Continued on Page 10

GRADUATING CADETS celebrated with the traditional “hat toss” Thursday at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. A Thunderbirds jet crashed after a flyover following commencement ceremonies attended by President Barack Obama. The pilot was able to safely eject from the jet.
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — President Barack Obama implored the next generation of U.S. military leaders Thursday not to give in to isolationism or pull back from U.S. leadership in the world, drawing a contrast with a foreign policy vision laid out by Donald Trump. Obama used his final commencement address as president to reassure the military that it remains the world’s dominant fighting force, implicitly pushing back against critiques that its might has ebbed under his watch. Under searing sun and sweeping blue skies at the U.S. Air Force Academy, he told graduates they’d be called upon to strike a complicated balance between realism and idealism, withdrawal and overreach.
5 soldiers die in training accident By JIM VERTUNO Associated Press
FORT HOOD, Texas — Army teams and emergency crews searched early today for four Fort Hood soldiers missing after a truck overturned in a fast-flowing flooded creek during a training exercise at the sprawling Army base in central Texas.
At least five soldiers died and three more were injured when the 2½-ton truck overturned in Owl Creek Thursday morning. Fort Hood spokesman Chris Haug said teams found the bodies of two soldiers who had been in the vehicle late Thursday night. Three others were found dead shortly after the vehicle overturned. Three sol-

Wolf requests $34M for heroin treatment By ERRIN HAINES WHACK Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Gov. Tom Wolf’s $34 million budget request to address Pennsylvania’s opioid abuse crisis is “a start” as the state begins to understand the scope and need of a statewide epidemic, he told reporters Thursday. Speaking briefly to reporters at the Center for Substance Abuse Research at Temple University’s Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Wolf acknowledged that “we in Harrisburg are just waking up to the problem.”
Aerial and ground crews were searching the 20-mile creek that winds through heavily wooded terrain on the northern fringe of the base. Army aircraft, canine search teams, swift-water rescue watercraft and heavy trucks were being used. The Army has not yet released the names of the dead. Parts of Texas have been
inundated with rain in the last week, and more than half of the state is under flood watches or warnings, including the counties near Fort Hood. At least six people died in floods last week in central and southeastern Texas. Fort Hood spokesman John Miller said the crossing was flooded by two days of intermittent heavy rains

ODs, drinking, suicides reduce whites’ life span By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer
PAGE 7 • Prince died of an overdose of fentanyl, a powerful painkiller, an autopsy shows.
NEW YORK — Rising drug and alcohol overdoses, suicides and disease from chronic alcoholism — labeled “deaths of despair” by one expert — are cutting the lives of white Americans short by nearly a half a year on average. Increases in these types of deaths among whites means that life expectancy for whites is not increasing as fast as it is for other groups, according to a government report that offers an unusual look at how different threats are affecting U.S. life spans. “Things are moving in the wrong direction,” said Anne Case, a Princeton University researcher, of what she calls “deaths of despair.” Drawing from death certificate data, the new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Continued on Page 10

POINT OF VIEW
“The question is, why do we have this crisis of opioid addiction?” Wolf said. “And second, what are we going to do about it?” If approved by the state Legislature, Wolf said his request — along with approximately $16 million in Medicaid funding — would help fund the creation of 50 outpatient treatment centers across the state that could serve up to 11,000 people a year. But he called the funding “a down payment” that only begins to address the scope of heroin addiction. “This is something we really need Continued on Page 10
WASHINGTON — U.S. employers drastically slowed their hiring in May, adding just 38,000 jobs, the fewest in more than five years and a sign of concern after the economy barely grew in the first three months of the year. At the same time, the unemployment rate tumbled to 4.7 percent from 5 percent, the Labor Department said today in its monthly unemployment report. The rate, to its lowest point since November 2007, fell for a problematic reason: Nearly a half-million jobless Americans stopped looking for work and so were no longer officially counted as unemployed. The much-weaker-than-expected jobs report will raise doubts that the Federal Reserve will increase the short-term interest rate it controls at its next meeting in mid-June or perhaps even at its subsequent meeting in late July. Many analysts had expected an increase by July. The government has estimated that the economy grew at just a 0.8 percent annual rate in the JanuaryMarch quarter. Today’s jobs report was a surprise in part because most recent economic reports have been encouraging: Consumer spending surged in April. Americans ramped up purchases of autos and other big-ticket items, like appliances. Home sales and construction have also increased. Sales of new homes Continued on Page 10

Police: Minnesota killing preceded UCLA murder By AMANDA LEE MYERS Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The path to the campus shooting death of a UCLA professor began nearly 2,000 miles away in Minnesota. There, a former student with a grudge, Mainak Sarkar, killed a woman, police said. That woman was his estranged wife, according to relatives, neighbors and public records. Sarkar then made the long drive to Los Angeles where he found his former mentor, engineering professor William Klug, and shot him before turning the gun on himself, authorities said Thursday. Both victims were on a “kill list� police had found at Sarkar’s Minnesota apartment. A third person on the list, another UCLA professor, was spared because he was not on campus Wednesday when Sarkar arrived with two semi-automatic pistols, police said. Authorities did not publicly identify the unharmed professor or the woman. A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that the woman on the list was Ashley Hasti, who documents show married the gunman in 2011. The investigation unfolded rapidly based on a note Sarkar left in the office where he killed

STUDENTS ATTENDED a candlelight vigil for professor William Klug at the University of California, Los Angeles, Thursday. Klug. It asked anyone who read it to check on Sarkar’s cat in St. Paul, Minn. At Sarkar’s apartment, authorities found his list of three planned targets. They checked the residence of the woman in the nearby town of Brooklyn Park and found her body. The law enforcement official said Hasti was the name of the woman on Sarkar’s list. Beck said the woman named on the list was the victim; and a neighbor
told AP that Hasti lived in the home with her father. The official who said Hasti’s name was on the list was not authorized to publicly discuss the case and spoke on condition of anonymity. Gordy Aune Jr., who lives three doors away and is the neighborhood watch commander, said Hasti and her father kept to themselves. Records in Hennepin County, Minn., show Hasti married

Sarkar in 2011, though more recently they had different residences. Hasti’s grandmother, Jean Johnson, said the two only remained together for about a year, but didn’t get a divorce because Hasti couldn’t afford one. “They just didn’t get along,� Johnson told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. “The only enemy she had was him, I guess. I never thought he would do something like that.� She said she hadn’t mentioned any recent animosity with Sarkar. Sarkar had disparaged Klug online and the professor knew of his contempt, but police have MAINAK not uncovered SARKAR any death threats, Beck said. The writings contained “some harsh language, but certainly nothing that would be considered homicidal,� he said. A blog post written in March by someone identifying himself as Sarkar asserted that Klug “cleverly stole all my code and gave it (to) another student� and “made me really sick.� Beck said the investigation had shown Sarkar’s claims of stolen code are “a making of his
own imagination.� Sarkar, 38, and Klug, 39, were once close. In his 2013 dissertation about using engineering to understand the human heart, the student thanked the professor “for all his help and support. Thank you for being my mentor.� Sarkar’s LinkedIn page shows he obtained a master’s degree at Stanford University after graduating in 2000 from the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur with a degree in aerospace engineering. He most recently was listed as an engineering analyst at a Findlay, Ohio, company called Endurica. Company president Will Mars said Sarkar left in August 2014. It’s unclear what he had been doing since. Colleagues, family and friends described Klug as a kind, devoted father and teacher. He is survived by his wife and two children, a 9-year-old boy and 7year-old girl. On campus Thursday night, hundreds of students, staff and faculty gathered for a vigil for Klug, holding up their cellphones like candles to light up the night sky. “Bill was so much more than my soul mate,� Klug’s wife, Mary Elise Klug, said in a statement. “I will miss him every day for the rest of my life.�

PHILADELPHIA — Newly public police records in Bill Cosby’s criminal sex-assault case show his accuser planned to confront him weeks after their 2004 encounter but backed off when he got too close to her. Andrea Constand told police she “just wanted to confront him about it and ask some questions� when she returned to his home after dining with him and others at a restaurant. Instead, Constand waited a year before telling her mother and then police. A suburban Philadelphia prosecutor decided at the time not to bring charges, citing insufficient evidence of a crime. Cosby, 78, was arrested last year after the case was reopened amid the release of his testimony in Constand’s civil lawsuit and after dozens of other women had aired similar complaints of being drugged and molested. Excerpts of the 2005 police statements were read aloud in court last week at Cosby’s preliminary hearing, when a judge sent the case to trial. The full police statements were posted as exhibits in the court file Thursday. Cosby, in his January 2005 statement, said he had shared three earlier “romantic� encounters with Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home. He described them as “petting� sessions and said they did not have sex. Constand said she had twice rejected his “advances� before the night she believes she was drugged and molested. Constand, then 31, told police that she never told Cosby she’s gay. On the other hand, she said, “I never gave him any reason to believe I was interested in him.� The two had met through Temple University, where Constand was the director of women’s basketball operations. Cosby, a longtime trustee, was the university’s most prominent booster. In

BILL COSBY left a preliminary hearing Tuesday in Norristown. his deposition, taken as part of the lawsuit she filed, he said he became interested in her the first time he saw her at the university’s gym. The long-married Cosby, known as a vocal champion of family values, also acknowledged in the deposition a long history of affairs and said he had given young women alcohol and, in at least one case, quaaludes before pursuing sexual contact with them. Cosby, in his police statement, said he had never known Constand to lie. “Andrea’s a good girl. People try to get things over on her,� he told police. He and Constand gave police similar accounts of what occurred during their physical encounters but disagreed on whether it was consensual, especially on
the night in question. Prosecutors believe Constand was too impaired by three blue pills Cosby gave her “for stress� to give consent. Cosby said he gave her three halves of over-thecounter Benadryl, an antihistamine. But Constand recalled the pills as being rounded, not broken in half. Cosby, who played Dr. Cliff Huxtable on “The Cosby Show� from 1984 to 1992, remains free on $1 million bail. No trial date has been set, and he has no scheduled hearing dates after waiving the right to be arraigned in person on the charges. The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify people who say they have been sexually abused unless they agree to be named publicly, as Constand has done.

Harry Jones Harry Donald Jones, 93, of Indiana, left the blue marble of spaceship earth on Saturday, May 7, 2016. He was born Feb. 25, 1923, in Punxsutawney. Until his son Stephen was old enough to read, Stephen thought the sign coming into Punxsutawney said “birthplace of Harry Jones.” Harry graduated from Indiana High School in 1941. He was an ensign in the Navy during World War II. After the war, he attended Bucknell University and graduated with a chemical engineering degree. Harry married Zureta Timberlake “Timmi” Jones on June 29, 1957.

In later life he enjoyed traveling to see his family. He also enjoyed restoring antique furniture in his spare time. He was a formidable Scrabble and bridge player and took no prisoners as anyone who played against him can attest. Anything chocolate ... that was his!
We bid him a fond farewell.

Ex-hospice head pleads guilty to fraud PITTSBURGH (AP) — A former head of a suburban hospice who was accused of using patients who weren’t terminally ill to collect millions of dollars in false Medicare and Medicaid billings pleaded guilty on Thursday to a health care fraud charge. Former Horizons Hospice chief operating officer Mary Ann Stewart was indicted last year on one count of health care fraud and four counts of lying to a federal grand jury. One of the grand jury counts was
dismissed last year after a judge agreed with Stewart’s attorney that questions about whether her estranged husband stayed in hotels on the company’s dime weren’t specific enough. Stewart initially pleaded not guilty to the charges but on Thursday pleaded guilty to the fraud charge. Stewart’s sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 9, when she will face 10 years in prison, a fine of $500,000 or both.
Reafa Gale (McClune) McGraw, 93, of Latrobe, formerly of Blairsville, passed away on Thursday, June 2, 2016, at Barnes Place, Latrobe. The daughter of Arthur J. and Anna G.

She survived by a son, Jesse E. McGraw Jr. and his wife, Dolores, of Blairsville; two daughters: Margaret Ann McGuire and her husband, Patrick, of Torrance; and Virginia Libengood and her husband, Edgar, of Lake Worth, Fla.; 10 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and three great-greatgrandchildren. She was preceded in
death by her parents; her husband, Jesse E. McGraw Sr. on June 3, 2014; an infant son, John A. McGraw; and a granddaughter, Melissa Jean McGuire. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Shoemaker Funeral Home Inc., 49 N. Walnut St., Blairsville. A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home with Pastor Jason Losier officiating. Interment will be in the Blairsville Cemetery, Blairsville.

An indictment contended the fraud cost the government millions of dollars from January 2008 through August 2012 at the facility in Monroeville, 15 miles east of Pittsburgh. Stewart had her staff admit patients who weren’t terminally ill to the hospice so she could bill the government insurance programs for end-of-life medical services, the indictment said. Such treatment often includes pain medications and management.

Snoop Dogg is right
y musical tastes do not include rap and hip-hop, but when Snoop Dogg comments on the “Roots” remake, saying he is tired of movies about slavery and would prefer a series “about the success that black folks are having,” he is singing my song. The original “Roots” drew a phenomenal 130 million viewers when it aired on ABC in 1977. The remake, now playing on The History Channel, will probably draw far fewer viewers, just because it is on cable and most are familiar with the storyline. The filmmakers apparently are targeting a younger generation. While there is no question that slavery has left an indelible mark on the descendants of slaves and the nation (former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has called it America’s “birth defect”), continuing to dwell on the subject does nothing to improve a single black life. Snoop’s point is that seeing more stories about African-Americans who are successful would inspire more minorities to overcome the difficult circumstances in which many find themselves. He is correct.

never heard of most of them. Even during Black History Month, many of their stories are never told. Why is that? One would think that these inspirational stories are tailormade for so-called civil rights leaders, who could tell African-American kids, “If they could do it, so can you.” Instead, we get stories about slavery, discrimination and charges of racism. I live in a suburb of Washington, D.C. At night the local TV stations frequently lead with crime stories. Many involve young African-American men with guns. The image conveyed to viewers is a negative one. There is no secret to becoming successful, or at least self-sufficient: Stay in school, avoid drugs and crime, get married before you have children and work to stay married, develop a vision. Snoop Dogg’s criminal background and misogynist lyrics may not make him the best role model for young African-Americans, but he’s right about being fed-up with slavery movies. So am I.

You will have lots of company. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, having been humiliated by Trump as “Little Marco” — and having warned us Trump was a “con artist” and worse, now says he’d be “honored” to speak for Trump at the GOP convention. But Rubio isn’t Trump’s latest cheerleader. That honor goes to North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un. In an editorial in North Korea’s official news organ, DPRK Today, the scholar Han Yong Muk, whose message is being viewed as Pyongyang’s official line, urged Americans to vote for Trump for president — and “not that dull Hillary.” The writer praised Trump’s March comment that he would withdraw U.S. troops from South Korea unless Seoul increases its defense spending. The editorial said: “Trump said he will not get involved in the war between the South and the North, isn’t this fortunate from North Korea’s perspective?” And by the way, if you Republicans still have your old Meese Measuring Stick, use it one last time. Hold it up to the presumed Democratic nominee and ask yourselves what you would be saying if Clinton just earned those words of praise from North Korea’s hard-to-please leader. martin.schram@gmail.com

Zoo to reopen exhibit with higher barrier CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Zoo said Thursday it will reopen its gorilla exhibit next week with a higher, reinforced barrier after a 3-year-old boy got into the enclosure, leading to the fatal shooting of a male gorilla. Zoo spokeswoman Michelle Curley said the outer barrier will now be 42 inches high — a half foot taller than before — with solid wood beams on top and at the bottom, plus knotted rope netting at the bottom. The zoo said there had been no earlier breaches in Gorilla World’s 38-year history and that the previous barrier had passed multiple inspections by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which accredits zoos.
Navy Blue Angels jet crashes, killing pilot By KRISTIN M. HALL and LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press
SMYRNA, Tenn. — A Blue Angels F/A-18 fighter jet crashed Thursday near Nashville, Tenn., killing the pilot just days before a weekend air show performance, officials said. A U.S. official said the pilot was Marine Capt. Jeff Kuss. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. According to his official Blue Angels biography,
Kuss joined the elite aerobatics team in 2014 and accumulated more than 1,400 flight hours. Harry Gill, the town manager in Smyrna just outside Nashville, said Thursday that the Blue Angels pilot was the only casualty and no civilians on the ground were hurt. The Navy said in a news release that the pilot was beginning to take off during an afternoon practice session when the crash happened. Five other F/A-18 jets landed safely moments after the crash. “My thoughts and prayers go out
to the family and friends of the Blue Angels after this tragic loss. I know that the Navy and Marine Corps Team is with me. We will investigate this accident fully and do all we can to prevent similar incidents in the future,” Adm. John Richardson, the Navy’s top officer, said in a Facebook post. The team is based at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida. The Blue Angels will not participate in the weekend air show, the Navy said in a news release. The Great Tennessee Air Show

Authorities say man cited film in slayings INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A 19-year-old Indianapolis man has been charged with killing three people over four days in attacks a prosecutor said he justified by citing the horror movie “The Purge,” which is about one day a year when murder is legal. A Marion County judge entered a not guilty plea for Johnathan Cruz and ordered him held without bond during an initial hearing Thursday on three murder counts and other charges for the attacks starting May 12. Detectives said a witness told them that Cruz confessed he had been “purging” by shooting and robbing people, according to court documents filed Wednesday. Police said this referred to the 2013 movie starring Ethan Hawke, in which during one night a year, all crime is legal. Detectives found a text message dated May 2 from Cruz saying “I Purge every night now.”
Boy who went missing in forest found TOKYO (AP) — The 7year-old Japanese boy who went missing nearly a week ago after his parents left him in a forest as punishment was found unharmed today in an army training ground hut, police said, in a case that had set off a nationwide debate about parental disciplining. Yamato Tanooka’s parents had made him get out of their car as punishment on Saturday. The couple told Japanese TV news that they left him in a forest, reputed as ridden with bears, and when they returned several minutes later he had vanished. The boy was found this morning by a soldier in a military drill area on the northernmost main island of Hokkaido. The boy identified himself as Yamato Tanooka, police said. A military officer, speaking on the national broadcaster NHK, said the boy was found when a soldier unlocked the hut, about 3 miles from where he disappeared.
Gravediggers compete in race DEBRECEN, Hungary (AP) — Eighteen two-man teams of Hungarian gravediggers are demonstrating their skills for a place in a regional championship to be held in Slovakia later this year. Participants in the contest held today in the public cemetery of the eastern Hungarian city of Debrecen were being judged on their speed but were also getting points for style — the look of the grave mounds. Organizer Iren Kari said they hoped the race would help boost respect and recognition for gravediggers and attract more people to the job. Janos Jonas, 63, who teamed with his son, Csaba, viewed the competition as a sort of last hurrah as he was just a few weeks away from retirement.

DEMOCRATIC presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave a speech on national security Thursday in San Diego.
Clinton attacks Trump’s foreign policy in speech By CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Previewing a rancorous fall campaign, Hillary Clinton assailed Donald Trump on Thursday as a potential president who would lead America toward war and economic crisis. She portrayed her own foreign policy as optimistic, inclusive and diplomatic, born from long experience in public life. There was nothing diplomatic in her remarks, a clear indication of how she will take Trump on. Electing him, she said, would be “a historic mistake.” During a speech in San Diego that was billed as a foreign policy address, the Democratic former secretary of state unloaded on her likely Republican election opponent, counting down reasons he is not qualified — from his aggressive Twitter attacks to his emotional outbursts. “He is not just unprepared; he is temperamentally unfit,” she told supporters in a ballroom. “We cannot let him roll the dice with America.” She said a Trump presidency could spark nuclear conflicts overseas and ignite economic catastrophe at home. “There’s no risk of people losing their lives if you blow up a golf course deal, but it doesn’t work like that in world affairs,” Clinton said of the celebrity businessman. “The stakes in global statecraft are infinitely higher and more complex than in the world of luxury hotels.” She mocked Trump’s Twitter blasts and predicted he was preparing more as she spoke. As if on cue, he tweeted after she finished: “Bad performance by Crooked Hillary Clinton! Reading poorly from the telepromter! She doesn’t even look presidential!” Hours later, the presumptive Republican nominee called the speech “a Donald Trump hit job.” “That was a phony speech,” Trump said at a rally Thursday night in San Jose, Calif. He accused Clinton of

He also denounced Clinton’s suggestion that he was “temperamentally unfit” to be commander in chief. “My temperament is so much tougher, so much better than hers,” Trump said. Clinton’s robust assault on Trump was widely carried on television, a change for the leading Democratic candidate who’s frequently struggled to break through coverage of Trump. She is ramping up her criticism of the presumptive Republican nominee and trying to quell concerns within her own party that she isn’t ready to rumble with the famously
combative Trump. She offered a number of aggressive new attack lines, at times baiting Trump to respond by calling him “thin skinned.” She hit Trump for his reality television past, for his snarky Twitter feed, for his hotel experience. She ran down a list of people he has insulted, including the pope. And she assailed Trump over many statements, criticizing him for seeking to ban Muslims from entering the country, for talking about leaving NATO and for suggesting Japan could one day acquire nuclear weapons. “He has the gall to say prisoners of war like John McCain aren’t heroes,” Clinton said. “He says he has foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant.” Emphasizing her experience as first lady, senator and secretary of state, Clinton said she recognizes what it means to deploy American troops and would provide the steady diplomacy the country needs.
WASHINGTON — Ending weeks of reluctance to embrace his party’s presumptive nominee, Speaker Paul D. Ryan endorsed Donald Trump for president on Thursday in a modest but unequivocal backing of a candidate whose views Ryan has frequently condemned. In a column in his hometown newspaper in Janesville, Wis., Ryan said speaking with Trump had persuaded PAUL him that the billionRYAN aire developer would help him realize the conservative agenda that the speaker is trying to advance. “Through these conversations, I feel confident he would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people’s lives,” said Ryan, who is also chairman of the Republican National Convention that will nominate Trump. “That’s why I’ll be voting for him this fall.” The endorsement is the latest and most consequential example of leading Republicans falling in line behind Trump. Ryan faced substantial pressure from fellow Republicans in Congress, many of whom share Ryan’s misgivings about Trump, because they realize that high-level public divisiveness over his candidacy only weakens Trump and increases the political risks of defending their majorities in the House and Senate. “I think it was always going to be this way,” Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., said. “It was never plausible that a speaker would preside over your convention and not endorse you.” Cole said the decision to endorse Trump would bolster Ryan’s main priority of protecting Republican seats in the House. “There is just no way that could have been helped by having that division,” he said. After a sometimes awkward courtship, Trump said he was happy that Ryan had finally backed him. “I’m very pleased,” Trump said in an interview. “I have a good relationship with him, actually. He was taken a little bit by storm because my situation was supposed to go the convention.”
Report: Prince died of fentanyl overdose New York Times News Service Prince, the music icon who struggled with debilitating hip pain during his career, died from an accidental overdose of self-administered fentanyl, a type of synthetic opiate, officials in Minnesota said Thursday. The news ended weeks of speculation about the sudden death of the musician, who had a reputation for clean living but who appears to have developed a dependency on medications to treat his pain. Authorities have yet to discuss
how he came to be in possession of the fentanyl and whether it had been prescribed by a doctor. Officials had waited several weeks for the results of a toxicology test undertaken as part of an autopsy performed after he was found dead April 21 in an elevator at his estate. He was preparing to enroll in an opioid treatment program when he died at 57, according to the lawyer for a doctor who was preparing to treat him. The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, which conducted the autopsy, declined to comment beyond
releasing a copy of its findings. The Carver County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the death with assistance from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. The sheriff’s office had said it was investigating whether opioid abuse was a factor, and a law enforcement official had said that painkillers were found on him when investigators arrived. Fentanyl is a potent but dangerous painkiller, estimated to be more than 50 times more powerful than heroin. Last year, federal officials issued an alert that said inci-
dents of overdoses with fentanyl were “occurring at an alarming rate throughout the United States.” The report did not list how much fentanyl was found in Prince’s blood. To some of Prince’s closest friends, his struggle with pain medication came as a surprise because the musician who had become a Jehovah’s Witness and strove, friends said, to live such a clean life. He was averse to drinking alcohol and frowned on the use of recreational drugs. He typically ate a vegan diet and would not allow meat in his house.

Unplugged weddings Guests asked to put down phones By MARLEY JAY Associated Press
NEW YORK — In a phone-toting, social media-mad age, you might think trying to keep your wedding offline would be crazy. Yet we did just that. We asked our guests to stay off their phones during our ceremony and other key moments. In doing so, we were hoping to make the celebration more enjoyable for everyone. As fun as smartphones, Facebook and Instagram are, they’ve turned us into part-time documentarians. We think about how to photograph something as soon as we see it. And we distance ourselves from the feelings that go along with these moments. “Everyone is kind of watching your entire big moment in life through a little 5-inch screen,” says Lizzie Post, a great-greatgranddaughter of etiquette expert Emily Post and president of the Emily Post Institute. “We’re not really in the moment. We’re recording the moment.” That’s why my then-fiancée Amber Marlow knew what she wanted: an unplugged wedding, in which you ask guests to put away their phones for all or part of the festivities. She’s a wedding photographer, and she’s been recommending that clients go unplugged for years. The fact that “put your phones away” is a style of wedding instead of an obvious point shows how much mobile phones have altered even the most emotional moments of our lives. And as we worked to spread the word and plan our wedding, we learned even more about our relationship with technology — ’til death or logging out do us part. Smartphones have become an all-or-nothing phenomenon: When one person at the table pulls out a phone, everyone else takes it as permission to do the same. Sometimes people start giving advice and tech support. The next thing you know, everyone is checking texts and social media. Not to mention those horrible photos we regret the next morning. It’s incredibly easy to take photos with your phone, which means it’s incredibly easy to shoot subjects looking terrible, utterly intoxicated or twice their actual age. And because of Amber’s professional experience, we both knew what we didn’t want to see in our wedding photos: guests glued to their screens as we walked down the aisle or holding up iPads to record the first dance. Phones can take good photos, but with their distracting glow, they don’t make for good photos. Not that we’re pining for a simpler, low-tech way of life. Amber and I met on a dating website, and we used our smartphones to navigate to our venue.
Associated Press
AMBER MARLOW snapped a photo after she and her husband went smartphone-free for their wedding. Because we didn’t want to annoy or inconvenience guests, we nixed phones only for our 15-minute ceremony, first dance and cake-cutting. We allowed phones during cocktail hour and the rest of the reception, and we told our guests they could take all the selfies they wanted. But we asked them not to post any photos of us online. We did hire a professional photographer to capture the evening for us, including the ceremony. We wanted to make sure her photos were full of smiling faces, not screens. We made our request gently, but often. Maybe a little more often than we needed to. We mentioned the unplugged-ness of our wedding in our invitations and explained it on our wedding website. But we were careful not to make threats or demands, and we never thought about asking people to hand over their phones. A funny pattern emerged: Our 20- and 30-something friends, the supposedly tech-addicted millennials, thought ditching phones was a great idea. “I don’t like them controlling my life,” says our friend Katie Morse, a social media professional. It was a tougher sell for my mom and my aunt, both in their 60s and relatively new to technology. They just wanted to show us off on Facebook. It’s the same generational dynamic that can make social media exasperating to people who have older relatives as Facebook friends. People who’ve spent a lot of their lives online have internalized a certain kind of etiquette, a sense of when it’s proper to contact someone or share a photo. An older relative without that sensibility might appear ... a little overenthusiastic. We sympathized with my mom. Some of her best friends couldn’t attend, and she wanted to include them. But if we let one person start taking and posting photos of us, everyone would do it.
How to go smartphone free NEW YORK (AP) — Once you decide on an “unplugged wedding,” you have to get the word out. Banning smartphones and cameras for all or part of a wedding is a relatively new concept, so you’ll need to remind your guests gently, but often. Lizzie Post, an etiquette adviser for the Emily Post Institute, recommends using several channels, including an announcement from the officiant, spreading the word to phone-addict friends, and posting a sign or a few words in the ceremony program. “If your request can be made gently and it seems really reasonable, you should have no problem,” she says. What if someone ignores your request? Well, there’s not much a couple can do beyond reminding the guest of the request. “If you take someone’s
Dorian D’Angelo, who works in marketing for a financial firm in New York, had a different reason for banning smartphones at her wedding in 2010: She and her husband weren’t able to invite all their friends and didn’t want anyone to feel hurt when they see party photos on social media. “They would wonder ‘Why were they invited and I wasn’t?’” she says. Figuring that our guests wouldn’t feel the need to take selfies if they had a chance to take better pictures, we set up a photo booth with a beautiful backdrop. It was busy all night. There’s a photo of some of my friends carrying me sideways. Thanks to champagne, I don’t quite remember why that happened. While D’Angelo had to confront one guest who ig-
phone away, that’s too far,” she says. “We always try to say ‘two etiquette negatives don’t make an etiquette positive.’” A few other recommendations: • Give your guests something else to do, such as setting up a photo booth where they can record the moment without distracting themselves with selfies. • Target your requests. Instead of asking your guests to stay off their phone for hours, think of a few key moments where you’d like to go phone-free. • If you want to keep wedding photos off social media, consider setting up your own site. Collect guest photos and share them there. • If forbidding phones is going too far, compromise by announcing that you’ll take a moment to pose for photos. That will let your guests get it out of their systems all at once.
nored the ban, but agreed to delete the posted photo, our guests honored our requests. A lot of them even abandoned phones for the entire party, even when they didn’t have to. Later, they thanked us and said that made the day more enjoyable. Freed of the urge to reflexively document everything they did, they soaked up the event itself and appreciated the work we had put into it. The dance floor was packed for most of the night. Back in our room, I marveled at the fact that I was married — and that I hadn’t touched my phone for about eight hours and hadn’t missed it. My wife marked the occasion by picking up her phone to take a photo of our ringed hands. She posted the photo, and we put our phones back down.
How to spend vacation at home A cash shortage doesn’t mean a family vacation is completely out of the question. Clever and creative parents can turn several days off work into an amazing vacation experience — Email without questions or even leavtips to ing town. mary@every MAKE A daycheap PLAN: Call skate.com or it a stayEveryday at-home Cheapskate, adventure. 12340 Seal Create a Beach Blvd., schedule Suite B-416, Seal Beach, CA and itinerary for 90740. each day that includes activities and meals. Make a big, colorful chart and let the kids help plan.
EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE NOTIFICATION: Let everyone know the dates you’ll be on vacation. They need to know you’ll be just as unavailable during your staycation as if you were to fly to another country. THINK LIKE A TOURIST: Google the name of your town, plus the word “tourist.” You’ll be amazed at what you discover. We’re talking hiking trails, bike paths, community events, and even museums and playgrounds that you may not even know exist. Look for special deals, coupons and other goodies local merchants are offering. CHANGE ALL THE RULES: This is the fun part. Break all the rules during your stay-at-home vacation (within reason). Sleep in,
stay up really late, watch videos, play games, go on bike rides, explore places you’ve never been. A few days of junk food is not likely to create any serious problems. CAMP OUT: Kids love to camp, so get out your basic camping gear (or borrow or rent it) and set up camp in the backyard. Create a fire pit so you can sit around the campfire late at night. But take proper care and be mindful of local rules. Brush up on the old campfire songs. Plan a meal to cook, and plan your sleeping arrangements, before you get outdoors. UNPLUG: This is the biggest challenge, for parents especially. Everyone has to surrender their cellphones and computers for the duration. It will be an adjustment, but it’s possibly the best move of all. Let your mail collect until
you return. Giving your kids your undivided attention — well, except during the times you’ll be taking some well-deserved naps — will make this a true vacation. You’ll vacate the normal routines and stresses of life. MEMORIES: Be sure to take lots of pictures. After your vacation, let the kids help you create a scrapbook of memories. And don’t be surprised when they call it the best vacation ever! This column will answer questions of general interest, but letters cannot be answered individually.

Little can be done to reverse mother’s ban on traveling DEAR ABBY: My parents and I live on opposite coasts of the United States. I have visited them many times over the years. I’d like them to visit me, but my mother refuses to travel. (She is healthy and not scared of flying or traveling.) At first, she said she didn’t have the money, so I offered to pay for the ticket and lodging here in California. Her next excuse was she didn’t have the time off, so I suggested she request it months in advance, or travel during her company’s annual two-week shutdown. She wouldn’t consider it. My sister, who lives in the South, has had the same problem with Mom. We have told her how it makes us feel and asked Dear Abby is her why she won’t travel written by to either of us. Mom just Abigail Van mumbles that she knows Buren, also how we feel, but she will known as give us no reason. Even Jeanne Dad has become fed up Phillips, and with Mom’s inertia, so he was founded by her mother, came to visit me on one trip and my sister on anPauline other. Phillips. Can you offer any suggestions? — PUZZLED IN PALO ALTO DEAR PUZZLED: Yes. Accept that your mother may simply be most comfortable in her own environment, and stop personalizing her refusal to travel.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press
Today is Friday, June 3, the 155th day of 2016. There are 211 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 3, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Defense Act of 1916, which, among other things, created the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC). On this date: In 1808, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was born in Christian County, Ky. In 1888, the poem “Casey at the Bat� by Ernest Lawrence Thayer was first published in the San Francisco Daily Examiner. In 1924, author Franz Kafka, 40, died near Vienna. In 1937, Edward, The Duke of Windsor, who had abdicated the British throne, married Wallis Warfield Simpson in a private ceremony in Monts, France. In 1948, the 200-inch reflecting Hale Telescope at the Palomar Mountain Observatory in California was dedicated. In 1955, convicted murderer Barbara Graham, 31, was executed in the gas chamber at San Quentin State Prison in California, as were Jack Santo and Emmett Perkins, for the 1953 slaying of Mabel Monahan. In 1963, Pope John XXIII died at age 81; he was succeeded by Pope Paul VI. In 1965, astronaut Edward H. White became the first American to “walk� in space during the flight of Gemini 4. In 1972, Sally J. Priesand was ordained as America’s first female rabbi at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati. In 1983, Gordon Kahl, a militant tax protester wanted in the slayings of two U.S. marshals in North Dakota, was killed in a gunbattle with law-en-
dren. But your mother has an idiosyncrasy, and you will have to accept it because you have done everything you can. DEAR ABBY: I am planning my wedding. It is making me more anxious than I expected. My fiance and I live together and already have many of the items a newly married couple would usually get as gifts. So, as of now, we are not registered anywhere. What is the best way to ask for monetary gifts instead? — ANXIOUS BRIDE IN VIRGINIA DEAR ANXIOUS BRIDE: While traditionally it is not acceptable to blatantly ask for money — and certainly not on a wedding invitation — some couples open a bank account to be used for a down payment on a house or a special honeymoon “in lieu of gifts.� The information can be conveyed verbally or on your wedding website. DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend bleached her hair blond for a special event, but recently changed it back to her natural black color. She turned me on even more as a blonde, but I’m not sure how to tell her. Would I be out of line to ask her to go blond again for me? — LIKES HER BLOND IN NEW YORK DEAR LIKES HER BLOND: The time for you to have raved about how much you liked her “new look� was before she went back to her natural color. For someone to go from dark to blond, then dark to blond again can be damaging to the hair — not to mention expensive to maintain. You can ask, I suppose. But she may not be willing to go along with it. And if that’s the case, you’re just going to have to love her the way God made her. P.S. You could buy her a blond wig to wear on “special occasions.�

Numerous organizations and churches in the Indiana area are participating, bringing the total number of volunteers to more than 300.
5 killed in truck crash Continued from Page 1 The base has seen fatal training accidents before. In November 2015, four soldiers were killed when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a training exercise. And in June 2007, a soldier who went missing for four days after a solo navigation exercise died from hyperthermia and dehydration while training in 90-degree heat. Across Texas, many were watching a new batch of storms that could dump up to 10 inches of rain from Thursday through Saturday and worsen flooding caused by waterways that already have risen to record levels. The heaviest rainfall Thursday night was reported in LaPorte, on the western shore of Galveston Bay, where 4.36 inches of rain was recorded between 5 and 8 p.m. Thursday. A storm system overnight Wednesday dumped nearly 8 inches of rain on Houston’s northern suburbs, flooding some neighborhoods. In Fort Bend County, southwest of Houston, about 1,400 homes have been affected by the Brazos River, swollen by heavy rainfall from last week. Officials say the Brazos has not dropped much and that additional rainfall could make the flooding worse. This week’s storms are the latest in a string of torrential rains since May 2015 that have put swaths of the state underwater. Some areas now overwhelmed by water had run dry two years ago due to drought conditions.
Fundraiser planned HOMER CITY — The second annual Wine, Whiskers and Wagging Tails event will be held June 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Homer City Fire Hall, 25 Church St., Homer City.

Wolf requests $34M for heroin treatment lines, geographical lines in Pennsylvania,” Wolf said. “I think there is real interest in doing something about this.” Opioid and heroin abuse has become an issue of increasing concern in Pennsylvania. The state ranks among the top in the country for drug overdose deaths. The governor’s office says that heroin overdoses kill at least seven Pennsylvanians a day. Wolf, who took office in 2015, has said the crisis is a top priority for his administration. Addiction treatment is part of a larger ap-
proach that also includes addressing the excessive availability of prescription drugs — seen as a major gateway to addiction — overdose prevention and treatment of incarcerated addicts. But the lack of treatment centers has been a common refrain across the state. On Thursday, Wolf did not say how many more beds the state needs or where they will be. “One of the things we have to do is find out what that need is,” he said. “We need to get a better answer to the question. The problem is all over the state.”
Whites’ life expectancy slows Continued from Page 1 focuses on what happened to white life expectancy between 2000 and 2014. The work was a reaction to recent research that suggested drug overdoses and suicides have caused alarming increases in death rates for middle-aged white Americans. The new report, which did not perform the same analysis for blacks and Hispanics, was posted online today. Overall, white life expectancy still grew because other things were improving. Deaths from heart disease — the nation’s No. 1 killer — dropped significantly, and that alone added a year to white life expectancy. Nearly one more year was added because of falling death rates from cancer, stroke, and motor vehicle crashes, the researchers found. But then drugs and alcohol subtracted about four months from life expectancy, according to Kenneth
Kochanek, a CDC statistician who was the report’s lead author. No other cause of death had a bigger negative impact, he said. Increasing suicides had the second largest negative impact, subtracting roughly six weeks from white life expectancy. The growing impact of Alzheimer’s disease was third, reducing longevity by about three weeks. Falls also whittled down white life expectancy gains, the researchers found. So did chronic liver disease, often the result of heavy alcohol consumption or injection drug use that spreads the liver-destroying hepatitis C virus. Experts cite several possible reasons that drug overdose deaths and suicides are occurring far more often among middle-aged whites than other groups. They say whites have had an easier time getting access to the powerful painkillers that have been the root of the current drug overdose epi-
YAPPY HOUR The first Yappy Hour of the summer will be held Thursday beginning at 5 p.m. at Benjamin’s restaurant on Philadelphia Street in Indiana. The event benefits the Indiana County Humane Society and offers furry door greeters, half-price drink specials, half-price ap‘paw’tizers and entertainment from 6 to 8 p.m. Cost to attend is a $10 donation.

Continued from Page 1 to address in a much more comprehensive way,” he said. “That’s a placeholder.” Wolf’s call for heroin funding comes in the wake of a record budget standoff and months before many lawmakers face re-election this fall. The GOP-controlled Legislature has only a few weeks left to pass a budget before the start of the 2016-17 fiscal year on July 1. Still, the Democratic governor suggested the issue is one that should transcend politics. “This is something that cuts across party lines, class

demic. And whites may more quickly turn to suicide because often they don’t have the kind of family and social support often seen in black and Hispanic communities, they say. Though the gap is closing, white life expectancy is still significantly greater than life expectancy for blacks. White life expectancy grew to nearly 79 in 2014, from about 77½ years in 2000. Black life expectancy rose to a little over 75 from about 71½. Life expectancy for Hispanics rose to 82 years from 79. Things may be taking a turn for the worse, however. Earlier this week, the CDC issued a report on preliminary death data for 2015 that showed the U.S. death rate rose slightly — the first increase in a decade. The report did not break down what was happening in different racial groups, but experts say whites’ death trends are likely the primary reason.
Continued from Page 1 The pilot, identified as Maj. Alex Turner, of Chelmsford, Mass., safely ejected and later met with Obama. “The president thanked the pilot for his service to the country and expressed his relief that the pilot was not seriously injured,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. Obama didn’t mention Trump or other presidential candidates by name in his remarks, but his target was clear. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has called repeatedly for putting “America first” by rethinking U.S. alliances, spending less to ensure other countries’ security and enacting strict tariffs that Trump acknowledges could potentially lead to a trade war. Obama’s rebuke of that philosophy came the same day the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, sharply criticized Trump’s foreign policy. She delivered a speech in San Diego in which she assailed Trump as dangerous to U.S. national security and unqualified to be commander in chief. Though Obama is waiting for the conclusion of the Democratic primary to start campaigning in earnest, he’s worked increasingly to undermine Trump’s appeal by attacking his policies. A day earlier, Obama visited a conservative stretch of Indiana on a self-described “myth-busting” mission to derail GOP arguments on the economy. “When we panic, we don’t make good decisions,” Obama told the cadets and their families. He said the U.S. has to engage with the world but must also be wary of overextending itself, particularly with regard to military intervention. “As we saw in Vietnam and the Iraq war, oftentimes the greatest damage to American credibility comes when we overreach, when we don’t think through the consequences of all of our actions,” Obama said. In another clear nod to Trump, the president specifically mentioned the value of NATO, an alliance that Trump suggests is outdated. Though Obama came into office pledging to end two wars and to keep the U.S. out of unnecessary entanglements, he’s repeatedly bumped into the reality of overseas messes that seem to have pulled the U.S. back in. Of the 812 Air Force Academy graduates, 345 are going on to train as pilots, the Air Force said. Sixty will train to operate remotely piloted aircraft, such as drones, which Obama has made a central tool of U.S. counterterrorism efforts. About one-fourth of the Class of 2016 is female. Obama also delivered commencement addresses at Howard University and Rutgers University this year.
Economy adds 38K jobs in May Continued from Page 1 reached an eight-year high in April. Even manufacturing, which has suffered from weak growth overseas and a strong dollar that has depressed exports, is showing signs of stabilizing. Factory activity expanded in May for a third straight month, according to a survey of purchasing managers. In December, after months of economic improvement, the Fed raised its benchmark shortterm rate after pegging it near zero for seven years. In March, officials indicated that they expected just two additional increases this year. Chair Janet Yellen has long made it clear that she studies a “dashboard” of job market data to help assess the economy’s health, rather than a single number such as hiring or unemployment. Fed officials may not keep investors guessing for long: Yellen will speak Monday in a closely watched address that may show how she has interpreted today’s report. And Lael Brainard, a Fed official who is a longtime skeptic of raising rates, was to speak later today. Any sign that Brainard is willing to accept higher rates would likely be seen as evidence that Yellen — and the Fed — may act soon.

THE PIRATES’ David Freese, right, winced after being hit by a pitch in the eighth inning of Thursday’s game.
MIAMI — The Pirates did not record a hit until the seventh, trailed by three runs, and lost four starters to injuries. Still, they found themselves in extra innings before eventually coming up short. Christian Yelich hit a game-winning double in the bottom of the 12th inning to lift the Miami Marlins to a 4-3 victory over Pittsburgh on Thursday night. “We’ve always got guts,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “I don’t expect anything different from these guys. And when it gets more challenging, it’s when they continue to show up. We fight, scratch and claw together. That effort has become a part of who we are.”

PENGUINS ROOKIES, clockwise from top left, Matt Murray, Conor Sheary, Tom Kuhnhackl and Bryan Rust have helped their more high-profile teammates race through the playoffs to the Stanley Cup Final. Rust is pictured getting instructions from coach Mike Sullivan.
Rookies make major impact for Pens By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH — It’s easy for a new player to get awestruck the first time he walks into the Pittsburgh Penguins’ dressing room. All those stars. All those glittering résumés. All that talent. Hey, there’s Sidney Crosby. Hey, there’s Evgeni Malkin. Hey, there’s Kris Letang. Coach Mike Sullivan understands it can be a little overwhelming at first.
“When a new player comes to our team, young or old for that matter, I think there’s a little bit of a ‘wow’ factor because of some of the players we have,” Sullivan said. “Everybody has so much respect for Crosby and Malkin and Letang and those guys. Over time I think that wears off.” If the Penguins wanted to get where they are now — two
wins away from the franchise’s fourth Stanley Cup — it had to wear off. Fast. F o r t u n a t e l y, Conor Sheary, Matt Murray, Bryan Rust and Tom Kuhnhackl are quick studies. The rookies — all of whom spent a significant portion of the season with the team’s American Hockey League affiliate on the other side of the state in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton — have found their footing
alongside their high-profile teammates. Pittsburgh raced through the playoffs and a 2-0 lead over San Jose in the Stanley Cup Final heading into Game 3 in San Jose on Saturday. There’s the seemingly unshakeable 22-year-old Murray, who has for now supplanted Marc-Andre Fleury in net.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry realizes every last man on the bench can mean so much to winning a championship. As he and Klay Thompson endured rare off nights that even featured Curry tossing his mouthpiece in frustration, the MVP’s “Strength In Numbers” supporting cast made all the timely shots and all the difference for the defending champions in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Draymond Green had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, Shaun Livingston scored a personal postseason best of 20 and Golden State’s bench came up big as the Warriors beat LeBron James and the
Cleveland Cavaliers 104-89 on Thursday night to move three wins from a repeat title. The Splash Brothers? They totaled — gasp! — 20 points on 8-for-27 shooting, each knocking down a late 3-pointer. “You don’t win championships without the entire squad coming in and making an impact on games,” Curry said. “That’s why we’re here.” Golden State’s bench outscored the Cavs’ reserves 45-10 in the opener of this finals rematch, which the Warriors reached even with Curry missing six games with injuries in the postseason. Game 2 is Sunday night back at Oracle Arena, and James knows Cleveland must adjust immediately. Continued on Page 15

NBA FINALS: Warriors 104, Cavaliers 89
By JANIE McCAULEY
She set one lofty goal prior to her senior year, and when she fell painfully short of reaching it, Indiana graduate Alison Simmons naturally felt a sense of disappointment. Simmons longed to lead the Bates College women’s rowing team to its second straight NCAA Division III title, a grand but reachable dream that unfortunately went unfulfilled at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center in Gold River, Calif., on SaturALISON day. SIMMONS The Bobcats finished the runner-up at the NCAA Championships for the sixth time in eight years, falling four points shy of repeating as national champs. In the days following nationals, Simmons experienced a period of clarity in which she came to the conclusion that her final collegiate performance shouldn’t be considered a letdown in any way. She realized that in the process of guiding the Bobcats to a runner-up finish at nationals in her final meet, she capped one of the most prolific athletic careers in school history.

WARRIORS CENTER Festus Ezeli dunked during the first half of Thursday’s game.
Julie Sadler knew last summer that she had a great opportunity to tap into Indiana’s profound enthusiasm for football. Early into her second year, the founder of the Indiana Women’s Flag Football League couldn’t be happier with the results. The league, which began in 2015, has nearly doubled in size, has implemented myriad offseason activities to keep participants involved and, above all in Sadler’s mind, has become a source of team spirit in the community. “It really is. It’s so fun,“ Sadler said. “And there really isn’t anything like it in Indiana as far as a league for women. … This is a short period of time, with only 12 weeks in the summertime, but we continue to have the camaraderie of hanging out and doing fun things throughout the year. So it’s just like something to have a group to belong to, and all the people that are involved have been awesome.“ Continued on Page 12

Simmons focuses on historic win, not loss Continued from Page 11 “I considered it a letdown in a sense that I didn’t have my best race before leaving Bates,” she said. “My best races were during my junior year, but we still won at the Head of the Charles and we still won NCAAs, so this race doesn’t mean much in the future. When I look back I won’t spend much time thinking about it. I’ll think a lot more about making history on the deepest Bates team ever. We made history and had fun in the process, and that’s why the rowing program just keeps getting better and better every year at Bates.” Simmons, a 2012 Indiana graduate, guided Bates College to its first NCAA team title in any sport last year when she helped the Bobcats outlast defending champion Trinity (Conn.) by one point at the NCAA championships. The Bobcats finished as the NCAA runner-up to Williams College (Mass.) five years in a row between 2009 and 2013 and placed third in 2014 behind Trinity and runner-up Williams, making Simmons a part of two NCAA runnerup teams, a national championship team and a team that placed third at nationals. The Bobcats amassed 36 points to edge third-place Williams (35 point). Wellesley College (Maine) collected 40 points to win the national title. “It was their year,” Simmons said of Wellesley. “They were just a little faster than us. If we raced them again tomorrow, we’d probably lose again.” Simmons paced the Bobcats’ first varsity eight team to a secondplace finish in the opening heat behind Wellesley to earn a spot in the grand final, where it finished fourth. The Bates College second varsity eight team then placed first in the grand final, besting second-place Wellesley by a margin of 8:54. The Wellesley first varsity eight boat finished ahead of Bates College in the grand final by a margin of 4:08. “Wellesley hasn’t really been a direct rival of ours, but they’re an upand-coming team that just gets faster and faster every year,” Simmons said. “We lost to them this fall before the Head of the Charles, but then we beat them at the Head of the Charles, so I was really looking forward to facing Wellesley and Williams College. Williams beat us at the ECAC (National Invitational Rowing Championship), so we’ve been duking it out with those three teams all year. “Williams dominated Division III before I started school,” she said. “But it’s been a different champion each of the last four years, so it’s a whole new level of competition now. Instead of one team dominating we have a handful of teams at the top, which is good for Division III rowing in general.” Simmons also paced the Bobcats to a 5-0 record and a first-place finish at the 20th Presidents Cup on April 17 before leading them to their second consecutive grandfinal win at the New England Rowing Championships on April 30. Bates also notched a second-place finish at the ECAC National Invitational Rowing Championships on May 8. Simmons, who was named a first-team New England Small College Athletic Conference selection, graduated from Bates College with a degree in biology. She plans to attend Brown University in the fall to pursue a master’s degree in public health. MITCHEL YARD: (La Roche College, baseball): Already spoiled with success in his time at La Roche College, Yard and the Redhawks upped the ante this year by punching their first ticket to the NCAA Division III College World Series, which was held at Fox Cities MITCHEL Stadium in Grand YARD Chute, Wis. The Redhawks didn’t just qualify for the big dance; they made major waves in their first game there when they beat two-time national champion Wisconsin-Whitewater, 5-3, in the opening game of the double-elimination tournament Saturday. After losing to eventual runnerup Keystone , 6-1, on Sunday, La Roche bounced back to defeat St. John Fisher (N.Y.), 9-6, in an elimination game Monday. Yard, a Saltsburg graduate, was the designated hitter and drew a walk and scored a run in his first College World Series appearance. But later in the day Monday, Keystone scored an unearned run in the bottom of the 10th inning to edge the Redhawks, 5-4, in another elimination game. Yard, a junior, again was the designated hitter and recorded one at-bat. La Roche advanced to the College World Series by winning five of six games in the double-elimination NCAA Mideast Regional tournament, which was held between May 18 and 22 in Washington. The
Redhawks lost to Randolph-Macon (Va.), 19-6, on May 20 before besting the Yellow Jackets, 7-2, on May 21, and 4-3, on May 22, to qualify for the College World Series. Yard went 12-for-36 on the season and finished with a .333 batting average. He had a home run, two doubles, four RBIs and six runs scored. La Roche racked up a single-season record 43 wins and won its third consecutive Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference title. The Redhawks made AMCC history when they became the first team in the conference to reach the top of the NCAA Division III Mideast Region rankings on April 28. There are 61 teams in the region, including nine from the AMCC. SEAN THOMPSON (Virginia Commonwealth University, baseball): Thompson, an Indiana grad, saw his second straight stellar season and his first as the Rams’ ace come to a premature end when he suffered a strain in his throwing arm in the opening game SEAN of a doubleheader THOMPSON against George Washington on April 30. The powerful right-handed sophomore pitched 2 2-3 scoreless and hitless innings against George Washington before leaving the game with the arm strain that would keep him on the bench the remainder of the season. VCU (38-19), which won its first Atlantic 10 Conference title last season, fell to Saint Joseph’s, 13-1, in the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 Tournament at Fordham’s Jack Coffey Field on May 27. In 11 starts, Thompson compiled a 6-1 record with a 3.28 earned run average, 44 strikeouts and 33 walks in 60 1-3 innings. He holds a career mark of 12-4 with 93 strikeouts, 52 walks and an ERA of 3.38 in 125 innings. JEFF HOGAN (St. Francis, men’s volleyball): Like he did early in his high school career at Northern Cambria, Hogan became a do-it-all threat for St. Francis this year as a junior opposite (hitter). The secondteam All-Eastern Intercollegiate JEFF HOGAN Volleyball Association selection led the Red Flash in kills with 370 and service points with 110. He also finished second on the team in digs with 181, third in blocks with 71 and fourth in aces with 18. Hogan tallied 15 or more kills on 11 occasions and 20 or more three times. The former three-sport high school standout played one of his best matches for the ideal moment, piling up a team-high 22 kills, six digs, four service points and three blocks in a 3-1 win over Penn State in the semifinal round of the EIVA tournament on April 21. Two days later in another solid performance, Hogan notched 16 kills, four service points, two digs and a block in a 3-1 loss to George Mason in the EIVA championship match. Hogan was named to the EIVA all-tournament team. Hogan, who was named the EIVA Defensive Player of the Week once and the Offensive Player of the Week twice, was named to the AllEIVA Academic Team for the second straight season. KRISTEN GABELT (Robert Morris, softball): Gabelt saw her standout career come to an end when Robert Morris lost to LIU Brooklyn, 3-2, in the de facto championship game of the Northeast Conference Tournament in Brooklyn, N.Y., on May. 14. KRISTEN The Ligonier GABELT Valley graduate paced the Colonials (23-33) in three offensive statistical categories: home runs (8), runs scored (29) and total bases (80). She also was second on the team in slugging percentage (.460), third in batting average (.270), walks (8) and hits (47), fourth in RBIs (21) and fifth in on-base percentage (.302). Gabelt finished with a .340 batting average and a .700 slugging percentage in conference play. She clubbed five homers in NEC play, two of which were game-tying homers in come-from-behind wins. Gabelt, a left fielder who was an All-Northeast Conference secondteam selection the last two seasons, finished her career with 21 homers, 67 RBIs, 147 hits and 79 runs scored. She is the sixth RMU outfielder to be named all-conference in back-to-back seasons.

Women kick off season
Continued from Page 11 The league kicked off its second season Thursday and has games scheduled each Thursday through Aug. 18, which will be the championship game. After competing with only 36 full-time players across four teams in its inaugural season, the IWFF has expanded to six teams, each with 10 full-time players. Because Sadler knows it’s unlikely that all players will be available to attend every game, each team has three slots for substitution players who may be called to fill in. As of Thursday, only three substitution spots had been filled, putting the league total at 63 players, but those interested in joining have until the league’s third game to sign up. Each player must sign a waiver and pay a $40 fee, and returning players receive seniority ahead of each subsequent season. “That’s kind of one of the perks of the full-time players is they get first dibs on signing next year if they want to play,“ Sadler said. “And substitute players that actually sign up and want to play, they get first dibs on a full-time spot as well. “So if you want a spot, you better sign up quick, because they went pretty fast this year.“ The 5-on-5 games begin at 7 p.m. They are each played side by side at Mack Park with two 30minute halves and a five-minute halftime. Offensively, teams get four downs to reach a first down and then receive four more attempts to score. Touchdowns are worth one point, and there are no field goals.
Blitzing is allowed on defense after counting five “Mississippis.” Players must be at least 21 years of age, and each contest concludes with a celebratory trip to Brunzies Bar for drinks, a postgame tradition Sadler hopes promotes unity in an otherwise competitive environment along with most other offseason activities, such as bowling and trivia nights. “We are very removed from the team when we are doing all the league stuff, and that’s kind of the way we set it up, so even though everybody has a team, that’s why we only go to one place afterward for drinks,” Sadler said. “All of our offseason events are geared toward to whole league. We’re not really looking to be just the Cherry Bombs or just the Blue Ballers or just the Monarch Mavens. We’re looking to be a league of women, and we happen to play on different teams for an hour, and then we get together at the end. “I might be competitive on the field for an hour, and then I’m going to be their friend, which is kind of how it worked out last year, and it was amazing.” Sadler, who plays for the defending champion and 1-0 Cherry Bombs, hopes to file for nonprofit eligibility at the season’s end. To help raise money, the league will host a 1980s-themed prom at Disobedient Spirits in Homer City on Oct. 15. Tickets for the event are $15.

LOCAL SCOREBOARD
Young Twp. drops another close one By The Indiana Gazette Josh Hepler scored on a groundout in the seventh inning to lift Armstrong to a 3-2 win over Young Township in an Indiana County Senior Legion baseball game at Bertolino Field on Thursday. After walking and advancing to second on a base hit, Hepler broke a 2-2 tie and scored the game-winning run from second on Eli Hickman’s grounder to the right side 1of the infield. “All three of our losses have come by one run, but our team’s coming together. It’s just taking a little while,” Young Township coach Barry Thomas said. “The kids played a good game, and they were right in it until the end, but just like the first two losses we couldn’t pull the trigger.” For Armstrong, winning pitcher Hickman fanned seven and walked four in a three-hitter, and Michael Lhote went 2-for-3. Justin Geidal went 2-for-3 to pace the Renegades. Losing pitcher Devin Fairman fanned six, walked five and allowed six hits in 6 2-3 innings. Both teams play Saturday. Young Township (1-3) plays host to Indiana Legion, and Armstrong travels to Punxsutawney for a doubleheader. YOUTH LEGION INDIANA LIONS 11, CLYMER LEGION 9: Clymer Legion simply ran out of time in its Indiana County Youth Legion game against visiting Indiana Lions. Clymer Legion cut its deficit to two runs at 11-9 in the seventh inning and had the bases loaded with no outs when the umpire called the game because of darkness. The Lions jumped out to a 9-4 lead after two innings and 10-4 after four. Clymer Legion scored four runs in the fifth to make it 98, and team scored once in the seventh before the game was called. “We lost the game in the first two innings, so we can’t really
complain. In fact, I thought they were going to call it in the bottom of the sixth,” Clymer Legion manager Bill Eckenrode said. Joe Spohn and Brent Johnson smacked three singles apiece to power Indiana Lions. Winning pitcher Clark Josephson struck out two and walked four in 2 2-3 innings. For Clymer Legion, Mason Engel singled and doubled, and Brennon Keith singled twice. Losing pitcher Jimmy Lightner struck out six, walked four and surrendered two hits in four innings. Clymer Legion (2-5) travels to Fox Township today, and Indiana Lions (2-4) plays host to IMedical on Saturday. INDIANA COUNTY LEAGUE BLAIRSVILLE 6, NEW DERRY 5: Blairsville scored the first six runs and then held off a late rally from New Derry to earn a win in an Indiana County League game at One River Field. The Colts scored four runs on three hits, two walks and an error in the bottom of the third inning to take a 5-0 lead. The Tigers were trailing 6-0 when they erupted for five runs on four hits and four walks in the sixth to make the score 6-5. But Blairsville reliever Bill Emerick struck out three, walked none and allowed no hits and no walks in the seventh to seal the win. Winning pitcher Jarred Pennavaria fanned seven, walked one and gave up one hit and no runs in five innings, and Emerick struck out five and walked none in 1 2-3 innings of scoreless and hitless relief to pick up the save. For New Derry, losing pitcher Mike Kelly struck out five, walked five and allowed four hits and one earned run in three innings, and Lou Downey fanned one, walked one and allowed one hit and no earned runs in three innings of relief. Both teams play Sunday. Blairsville travels to Apollo, and New Derry visits West Lebanon.

Raptors, Casey agree to new deal TORONTO (AP) — Dwane Casey spent five years turning the Toronto Raptors into a contender in the Eastern Conference. After the most successful season in franchise history, the Raptors moved quickly to make sure he sticks around to continue the work. Casey and the Raptors agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract extension, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. Casey was under contract for one more season, but the new terms will kick in starting with next season. Also, the NBA said Toronto center Bismack Biyombo will be suspended without pay for the opener of the 201617 season for accumulation of flagrant foul points in the playoffs. • NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks have hired Jeff Hornacek, who emerged last month as Phil Jackson’s surprising coaching choice. Jackson went with the former Phoenix Suns coach over anyone who had played or worked under him, even though he had said after the season he would likely pick somebody he already knew. Hornacek takes over a Knicks team that went 32-50 last season, missing the playoffs for the third straight season. The Knicks plan to introduce Hornacek, the 28th coach in franchise history, at a news conference today.
Source: Jags give Hurns extension JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A person familiar with the process said Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns has signed a four-year contract extension worth $40 million. The deal includes $20 million guaranteed, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Jaguars don’t release contract details. Pro Football Talk first reported the extension. The former Miami Hurricanes standout has 115 receptions for 1,708 yards and 16 touchdowns in two seasons.
Islanders’ Cizikas signs extension NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Islanders have agreed to terms on a $16.75-million, fiveyear contract extension with forward Casey Cizikas. The team announced the deal and agent Mark Guy confirmed the terms in an email to The Associated Press. Cizikas will count $3.35 million against the salary cap through the 2020-21 NHL season. He was at $1 million on his previous contract.
Gatlin not worried about Zika virus ROME (AP) — Justin Gatlin is already on his way to Rio de Janeiro and he’s not concerned about the Zika virus. After winning the 100 meters at the Golden Gala meet in Rome on Thursday, Gatlin’s next event is a street race in Rio on Sunday. Gatlin said, “I guess I get my first crack at it. I leave to go to Rio tonight.” The American sprinter should be back for the Rio Games in August as a top medal contender. Gatlin added, “We don’t get a chance to do a Final Four. We don’t get a chance to do a Super Bowl. This is our championships. And if at that point in time, if Zika is not going to kill me, I’m going to be down there trying to accomplish my Olympic dreams.”
Friday, June 3, 2016 — Page 13
Continued from Page 11 Famer Patrick Roy, among others. There’s the undersized (5-foot-8) and yet redoubtable 23-year-old Sheary, thrust onto a line with Crosby because of his ability to skate as if he’s worried the ice will melt underneath him if he stops. All he’s done is pump in four goals during the playoffs, including the overtime winner in Game 2 on Thursday night. There’s the 24-year-old Rust, who has a flair for the dramatic. His six goals over 19 playoff games — compared to five in 55 regular-season games — include a pair in a series closeout win over the New York Rangers in April and the game-winning marker in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals against Tampa Bay. There’s the responsible Kuhnhackl, an intelligent penalty killer who opts for the smart play instead of the spectacular one. All four in the midst of their first seasons in the league. All four undaunted by the moment. “I think they’ve been thrown into a lot of different scenarios,” Crosby said. “They’re handling it really well and they’re coming up big for us.” Thanks in no small part to the leadership of players like Crosby, who have made it a point to make the youngsters feel included, be it for a team meal on the road or a little post practice confab to share tricks of the trade. It was Crosby who dreamed up the sequence that resulted with Sheary having the puck on his stick and the game in his hands early in overtime on Thursday night. Prepping for a faceoff in San Jose’s end, Crosby told Sheary to line up on the wall then drift over into open space after Crosby won the draw and dropped it to defenseman Kris Letang at the blue line.
That’s exactly how it happened. When Letang faked a shot and drew the Sharks defense to him, Sheary was all alone. There, he followed an order Crosby gave to him earlier in the season when the captain told him not to worry about trying to look for his own shot. “He told me I was there for a reason,” Sheary said. And it wasn’t just to get it back to Crosby’s familiar No. 87 as soon as possible. “He’s really good at hanging on to the puck,” Crosby said. “You’ve seen him use it. The biggest thing is to trust his instincts.” He stuck to those instincts after Sullivan sat him for a game against Tampa Bay over concerns Sheary was wearing down. As Sullivan did with Murray when he briefly went with Fleury for Game 5 against the Lightning, Sullivan was explicit in his instructions so Sheary wouldn’t start to doubt himself. “His competitive advantage is his quickness,” Sullivan said. “So if he loses that step, he’s not as effective as we know him to be.” The respite worked. Sheary has three points in his last four games, including goals in both Game 1 and Game 2 of the final. “He’s a guy that we try to watch his minutes,” Sullivan said. “We think it’s important that we monitor his workload so that he can keep his quickness and that competitive advantage that makes him as good as he is.” A player who, like the rest of the WilkesBarre crew, is in Pittsburgh with no plans on making the trip back east anytime soon. If ever. “A lot of us have been together for a long time here, starting in Wilkes and making our way up here,” Murray said. “We’re all pretty close friends and it’s fun to be on this ride with all of them and that’s a huge goal from Conor. He’s been doing that for us all season. So, it’s fun to watch.”
GOLF ROUNDUP
Johnson sets pace early at Memorial tournament By The Associated Press Dustin Johnson set the pace early with 10 birdies on his way to an 8-under 64 at the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio. Jason Day avoided his aggressive nature to try to catch him Thursday. One day after Jordan Spieth referred to Johnson as the most talented player on the PGA Tour, Johnson opened with three straight birdies, made three straight birdies to close out the back nine, added four in a row on the back and wound up with his best score in his nine years at Muirfield Village. He had a one-shot lead over Brendan Steele, who holed out for eagle on the 18th for a 65. Day, the No. 1 player in the world and a member at Muirfield Village, played in the afternoon as the clouds began to gather. The Australian rallied on the back nine with three birdies and an eagle, and he wound up two shots behind. His 66 was his best score in competition on the
course Jack Nicklaus built. Spieth’s putter saved him in a scrappy round of 70. Rory McIlroy, playing with Spieth, changed back to a conventional putting grip. That helped only so much in his round of 71. So much attention was on the top three players in the world because of their ranking, having won five of the last seven majors, and because all three arrived at the Memorial coming off victories. Johnson, with his power and on Thursday his putting, showed why Nicklaus and others think this “Big Three” will only get larger. Matt Kuchar holed a 15foot par putt on the 18th hole to join the group at 66 that included Hudson Swafford, who did all his damage on the front nine when he tied the course record with a 29. PGA EUROPEAN: Scotland’s Marc Warren shot a 5-under 67 at Bro Hof Slott for a share of the first-round lead in the Nordea Masters in Stockholm.
Countryman Scott Henry, England’s Andrew Johnston, France’s Clement Berardo and Sebastien Gros and Germany’s Florian Fritsch also topped the leaderboard. England’s Lee Westwood, a three-time winner of the tournament, shot a 68. Sweden’s Henrik Stenson opened with a 72.
on to finals
By The Associated Press PARIS — While Serena Williams was made to labor for her French Open semifinal win against unseeded Kiki Bertens, Garbine Muguruza unfurled all the weapons that could one day take her to the top of women’s tennis when the 34-year-old Williams finally makes way. Aside from a late bout of nerves when serving for the match, fourth-seeded Muguruza was imperious in her semifinal today against Samantha Stosur, bossing the Australian with her speed and power from the back of the court and her steadiness at the net. Muguruza’s maturity belies her 22 years. The two-time quarterfinalist at Roland Garros has barely put a foot wrong on the way to her first French Open final, dropping just one set — in the first round. She broke Stosur five times, profiting from the No. 24-seeded player’s string of errors — including two double faults on break points in the second set. Muguruza has won just one of her four previous meetings with defending French Open champion Williams, but it should give hope for Saturday’s final, because it was on the clay of Roland Garros, in the second round in 2014. Muguruza won 6-2, 6-2. The last time they played was also for a Grand Slam title, at the Wimbledon final in 2015. Williams won 6-4, 6-4. A day late, two women’s semifinals were played simultaneously on separate courts to squeeze them in after a rain-wrecked week before the final on Saturday. Had damp weather not thrown off the schedule, Williams, Bertens, Garbine and Stosur normally would have played their
semifinals on Thursday, leaving the finalists a full day of rest before the championship match. But unrelenting rain that washed out a whole day of play on Monday, for the first time in 16 years, and other wet-weather delays nixed those plans. On Thursday, Williams came through when she needed to, moving closer to a record-equaling 22nd Grand Slam title by figuring out a way to beat Yulia Putintseva 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 in the quarterfinals. “I kept missing. Just misfiring. Honestly, at one point I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel,” the defending champion said. “I guess I was not the most positive mentally, but obviously I didn’t want to stop.” How close was she to her earliest exit at a major since Wimbledon in 2014? Putintseva, who is from Kazakhstan and ranked only 60th, twice was a point from serving for the biggest victory of her career. “I honestly didn’t think I was going to win that in the second set,” Williams said. “Somehow I did.” There is no rest for the weary at this wet-as-canbe French Open. With Williams in the final Saturday, it will be her fourth consecutive day of play. The top-seeded man, Novak Djokovic, already will reach that total — Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday — when he meets No. 13 Dominic Thiem in their semifinal today. “The way that the schedule has been going on in the second week,” Djokovic said, “(there) is not much time to really reflect on what you have done.” The other men’s semifinal is Andy Murray against defending champion Stan Wawrinka. Their quarterfinals were Wednesday.

THE INDIANS’ Francisco Lindor slid safely into home to score the game-winning run next to the Royals’ Drew Butera in the ninth inning of Thursday’s game in Cleveland.
Cubs’ Hendricks tops L.A. By The Associated Press
Kyle Hendricks dominated over eight innings and the Chicago Cubs backed him with four home runs, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 Thursday for their eighth win in nine games. Javier Baez, Jason Heyward and Kris Bryant connected against 19-year-old Julio Urias (0-1). Anthony Rizzo hit a leadoff homer against J.P. Howell in the eighth as the major league-leading Cubs took three of four from the Dodgers. Hendricks (4-4) allowed two runs and three hits, struck out six and walked one. He pitched a complete game in his previous outing to beat Philadelphia. Urias was simply overpowered in his second career start. The top prospect gave up six runs and eight hits in five innings. GIANTS 6, BRAVES 0: Madison Bumgarner won his sixth straight decision to match a career best and hit a tworun homer in a six-run fifth inning that led San Francisco past Atlanta. Bumgarner (7-2) allowed four hits in 7 2-3 innings, struck out 11 and walked two, lowering his ERA to 1.91. The NL West-leading Giants have won 17 of their last 21 games and are unbeaten in Bumgarner’s last eight starts. Bumgarner hit his second homer this season and 13th of his career, a 411-foot drive into the left-field seats. He reached double digits in strikeouts for the 28th time during the regular season, including three this year. Joe Panik and Buster Posey also hit two-run homers in the fifth inning off Aaron Blair (0-4). Bumgarner and Panik connected following walks and Posey after Matt Duffy was hit by a pitch. BREWERS 4, PHILLIES 1: Chris Carter and Jonathan Villar homered, Chase Anderson pitched effectively into the sixth inning and Milwaukee beat reeling Philadelphia. Anderson (3-6) allowed one run and three hits, striking out six in 5 2-3 innings to help the Brewers win their eighth straight game in Philadelphia. Maikel Franco homered for the Phillies, who have lost seven in a row. Jerad Eickhoff (2-8) gave up two runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. The right-hander left after a hard onehopper back to the mound bounced off his foot. REDS 11, ROCKIES 4: Eugenio Suarez homered twice in a game for the first time in his career and Alfredo Simon pitched seven strong innings for his first win in nearly a month to lead Cincinnati over Colorado. Zack Cozart and Adam Duvall also homered for the Reds, who almost doubled their total of road wins this season (now seven) by taking three of four in the series. Jay Bruce tripled
and doubled to drive in a pair of runs for Cincinnati. Nolan Arenado, Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story homered for the Rockies, who finished a 2-5 homestand. Suarez triggered the Reds’ six-run fifth with a three-run shot on the first pitch from Chad Qualls, who relieved Eddie Butler (2-3). Suarez added a solo drive off Gonzalez Germen in the sixth for his fourth RBI, tying a career best. Simon (2-5) allowed four runs and five hits, withstanding back-to-back homers by Gonzalez and Arenado to earn his first win since beating Milwaukee on May 5. Gonzalez has homered in six of his last eight games and Arenado connected for his 17th of the season, tops in the National League. AMERICAN LEAGUE MARINERS 16, PADRES 13: Kyle Seager, Dae-Ho Lee and the Seattle Mariners scored 14 times in two innings to erase a 10-run deficit and stun San Diego, the latest pratfall for a Padres team that was ripped in a radio interview by its executive chairman a day earlier. Trailing 12-2 after five, the Mariners benefited from a bullpen meltdown by the Padres and rallied for the biggest comeback in franchise history. Seager hit a two-run single in the sixth to chase starter Colin Rea, followed by Lee’s pinch-hit, three-run homer off Brad Hand. The Mariners then sent 13 batters to the plate in their nine-run seventh, getting seven straight hits with two outs. Seager had a two-run single followed by an RBI single from Lee. Pinch-hitter Stefen Romero singled in the tying run, and Shawn O’Malley’s RBI single gave the Mariners a 13-12 lead. Hand and fellow relievers Ryan Buchter, Brandon Maurer (0-2) and Matt Thornton combined to allow 10 runs on nine hits in 1 2-3 innings. YANKEES 5, TIGERS 4: Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman pitched out of his own bases-loaded, no-out jam in the ninth inning, helped by a slick double play and New York held off Detroit. After scoring against relievers Dellin Betances (2-2) and Andrew Miller, Detroit was down 5-3 going into the ninth. The Tigers quickly loaded the bases against Chapman on a single, a walk and a bunt single. Shortstop Didi Gregorius then scampered up the middle to field a hard grounder by J.D. Martinez and made a glove flip to second baseman Starlin Castro, who caught the ball with his bare hand and let go a strong, off-balance relay. A run scored on the play, with the potential tying run moving to third. Chapman then got Tigers star Miguel Cabrera on a routine grounder for his eighth save.
ORIOLES 12, RED SOX 7: Mark Trumbo and Adam Jones each homered twice, Manny Machado delivered a tiebreaking drive in the seventh inning and Baltimore hit a season-high seven long balls in a win over Boston. Pedro Alvarez and Francisco Pena also connected for the Orioles, who earned a split of the four-game series between the top two teams in the AL East. Boston’s Xander Bogaerts extended his career-high hitting streak to 26 games with a two-run double and David Ortiz hit his 16th homer to give the Red Sox a temporary 5-4 lead in the sixth. In the seventh, Robbie Ross (0-1) walked Ryan Flaherty and gave up a single to Pena before retiring the next two batters. Junichi Tazawa came on to face Machado, who drove the righthander’s second pitch deep into the left-field seats. INDIANS 5, ROYALS 4: Mike Napoli’s sacrifice fly scored Francisco Lindor with the winning run to cap a two-run ninth inning and lift Cleveland. The Indians rallied against Joakim Soria (2-2), filling in as closer for Wade Davis, who had pitched three of the last four days. Lindor’s triple tied the game before Napoli scored the game winner. Carlos Santana led off the Cleveland ninth with a single and made it to second on right fielder Paulo Orlando’s fielding error. After Jason Kipnis’ sacrifice, Lindor hit a line drive to right. Orlando attempted a diving catch but the ball rolled to the wall. Pinch-runner Michael Martinez scored and Lindor slid headfirst into third with a triple. TWINS 6, RAYS 4: Eduardo Nunez led off the game for Minnesota with an inside-the-park home run, Max Kepler picked up his first two major league RBIs and four Twins relievers combined for five scoreless innings in a win over Tampa Bay. Byung Ho Park went a career-best 3for-3 for the Twins, who had a seasonmost 15 hits and recovered smoothly from a rocky start by Phil Hughes that ended with a two-run homer by Evan Longoria in the fifth that put the Rays up 4-3. Taylor Rogers (1-0) struck out two over two perfect innings for his first major league victory. INTERLEAGUE DIAMONDBACKS 3, ASTROS 0: Zack Greinke struck out a season-high 11, and Arizona used a three-run seventh inning to beat Houston and Dallas Keuchel in a matchup of AL Cy Young Award winners. Greinke (7-3), the 2009 winner with Kansas City, allowed a season-low four hits — all singles — over seven innings and walked none. He won his fourth straight start and stopped Arizona’s three-game skid.
Warriors’ bench steps up in win Continued from Page 11 “When you get outscored 45-10 on the bench and give up 25 points off 17 turnovers, no matter what someone does or doesn’t do, it’s going to be hard to win, especially on the road,” James said. “Doesn’t matter what you do with Steph and Klay, doesn’t matter what you do with Draymond.” In a series with so much star power on both sides, this was a night for Livingston and fellow reserves Leandro Barbosa and Andre Iguodala. Barbosa returned from a minor back injury to shoot 5-for-5 on the way to 11 points, while 2015 finals MVP Iguodala had 12 points, seven rebounds, six assists and some stingy defense on James. “We play a lot of people, and we feel like we have a lot of talent on the bench that can come in and score
when we need it,” coach Steve Kerr said. “So it’s a great sign, obviously, that we can win in the finals without those two guys having big games, but it’s not really that surprising to us. This has been our team the last couple of years.” It made for a strong start while surrounded by those thousands of golden yellow “Strength in Numbers” Tshirts worn by the raucous fans throughout sold-out Oracle. “That’s our motto. That’s what we believe in,” Livingston said. “We pick each other up. We believe in each other and we just fight.” James kicked off his sixth straight finals with 23 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists, but coldshooting Cleveland finished 38.1 percent from the floor. Kyrie Irving, lost to a devastating knee injury in a Game 1 overtime defeat last year, scored 26 points, 11
on free throws. Iguodala had moved into the starting lineup Monday for the Game 7 clincher against Oklahoma City with a primary duty of defending Kevin Durant, but went back to the bench and played 36 minutes Thursday. He shook his head in delight after a two-handed slam off a pass from Curry with 5:44 left and didn’t let an aggravating, hard hit to the groin by Matthew Dellavedova derail his focus for the final quarter. Kerr stuck with regular starter Harrison Barnes, and he delivered 13 points. Curry had 11 points, six assists and five rebounds, while Thompson scored nine points. “I thought our guys did a great job of locking into those guys,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “Their bench played well. So we’ve got to go back to the drawing board and try to figure out
how to take those guys out of the game.” Kevin Love made an impressive finals debut with 17 points and 13 rebounds after missing last year’s run with a dislocated shoulder that required surgery. His basket with 3:57 left in the third put the Cavs ahead before Green’s dunk. With 34.1 seconds left in the third, Iguodala took issue with Dellavedova’s swat into his groin that after review was ruled a personal foul and no flagrant. Iguodala knocked down a 3pointer less than 8 seconds later and Golden State took a 74-68 lead into the final 12 minutes. Livingston made a key follow shot late in the third on the way to his first 20point performance in the postseason. James has scored 20 or more points in a careerbest 25 straight playoff games.

Bucs fall short vs. Marlins in 12 Continued from Page 11 John Jaso hit a game-tying single with two outs in the top of the ninth on a 3-2 pitch from Kyle Barraclough. Marlins starter Wei-Yen Chen didn’t allow a hit until the seventh inning with the Marlins leading 3-0. Jung Ho Kang doubled to lead off the seventh and Chen walked the next batter, ending his night. Both runners scored on a two-out, tworun double by Matt Joyce to cut the Pirates’ deficit to 32. Chen pitched six-plus innings, allowed one hit and two runs. He walked five and struck out three. “Wei-Yin was good tonight,” Mattingly said. “He was aggressive. These guys are a good-hitting club. You’ve got to be able to get the ball in there. They like the ball out over the plate. I thought he did a nice job of changing speeds. Early in the game it looked like his slider and change-up was sharp and right there when it ended it seemed like he ran out of steam just a little bit.” Suzuki helped keep the no-hitter intact with a diving catch in right-center field in the second, taking a hit away from Juan Nicasio, and he made a leaping catch against the center-
field wall on a ball hit by Kang. Miguel Rojas’ squeeze bunt opened the scoring for Miami. Giancarlo Stanton’s RBI double and J.T. Realmuto’s sacrifice fly pushed the Marlins’ lead to 3-0 in the third. Nicasio allowed three runs in six innings. McCutchen, who injured his right thumb, lined out in the sixth and then left the game between innings. “It’s something I’ve been dealing with for a while,” McCutchen said. “I couldn’t take any longer after my last at bat. Repeatedly, I get balls in and I’ve been getting jammed. It just flared up on me after my last at bat. They came out and checked it and it was just swollen.” Cervelli (right foot) left the game in the bottom of the third after being hit by a pitch thrown by Chen in the top of the second. “Everything is negative, just a bruise,” Cervelli said. Freese (right hand) was hit by a pitch in the top of the eighth, stayed in to run, but was replaced in between innings. Mercer (left elbow) was hit by a pitch in the ninth and scored the tying run before leaving the game between innings.

STEERYOUR CONTRACT DOWN THE RIGHT ROAD Joyce Cary, an English novelist who died in 1957, said, “The will is never free — it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car — it can’t steer.” When you are the declarer, you are steering your two hands toward the end of the road: the number of tricks needed to make the contract. How you steer the cards is, of course, usually critical. In today’s deal, South is in three notrump. What do you think of the auction? West leads a fourthhighest spade five, East puts up the nine, and South wins with his king (top of touching honors from the closed

hand). How should South drive from there? The auction is sensible if NorthSouth do not use transfers into the minors. However, if they do, North should respond two spades, a transfer to clubs, and rebid three spades to show a singleton or void in that suit. South would presumably park in three notrump. Note that five clubs can be made, but it requires good guesswork in the trump suit. South has seven top tricks: one spade (first trick), one heart, three diamonds, and two clubs. As at least three more tricks can come from clubs, it seems too easy. Is there a pothole in the road? From the first trick, declarer should realize that West holds the spade ace. So, if East gets on lead, he will return a spade through South’s queen, and the contract will crash. In order to keep East from winning a trick, declarer should play a diamond to dummy, then run the club jack through East. Here, the finesse wins, and declarer takes 11 tricks. But even if that finesse lost, South’s spade queen would be safe from attack, and the contract would coast home. COPYRIGHT: 2016, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

‘Sims’ removes gender barriers in video game By DERRIK J. LANG

‘Turtles’ are back, like it or not By KATIE WALSH
‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’
Tribune News Service
If you’re of a certain age (born in the early ’80s) the best part of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows� comes after the movie is over, when the credits morph into the bright, cartoon style of the TV show we knew and loved, soundtracked to that indelible theme song. Sing it with me: “Heroes in a half shell, turtlepower!� That’s the point when you finally recognize the beloved and bizarre turtles that somehow signify childhood. The preceding hour and 50 minutes, directed by Dave Green, written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, are just a befuddling and loud jumble of computer graphics and familiar character names crammed into a story that’s overly busy but also too simple. One can question who this movie is for — the nostalgic 30-year-olds who loved the cartoon or younger kids. It’s aiming for both; the 2014 reboot connected with audiences to the tune of nearly $500 million, so it’s clear that there’s an enduring affection for the ragtag bunch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who live in the sewers of New York City and love pizza. This time around, the brothers TMNT — Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), Donatello (Jeremy Howard), Raphael (Alan Ritchson) and Michaelangelo (Noel Fisher) — are struggling with the lack of recognition they get for keeping the streets of the Big Apple safe from supervillains like
Rated: PG-13 for sci-fi action violence Running time: 112 minutes Rating: â˜…Â˝ Shredder (Brian Tee). They’d like to come out of the shadows, if you will, though they know their mutant reptilian visages are unappealing to most humans, a heartbreaker for the teen turtles who are just like other kids, personalitywise. But a turtle’s gotta do what a turtle’s gotta do, and when Shredder breaks out of prison and starts conspiring with the evil Krang (Brad Garrett), an aggressive and nasty brain alien housed inside a robot body, to open up a space portal for world domination, turtles gotta go to work. They’re aided by the fetching April O’Neil (Megan Fox), a scrappy journalist, and Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), a corrections officer gone rogue.
The plot itself is pretty straightforward — stop the space portal — but is filled with the chasing down of little do-dads and other unnecessarily complicated tangents. There’s a whole section where the turtles follow oafish thugs Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Sheamus) to Brazil to chase down a thingamabob that is entirely unnecessary and just extends the movie’s already overly long running time. Tyler Perry appears as Dr. Baxter Stockman, a scientist and red herring villain, who quickly gets shunted aside, and Laura Linney, of all people, plays a hardcharging police chief who is similarly extraneous to the story.

2016 ARTIST LINEUP
brothers and their struggle over their desire to be “normal� are the most heartfelt and resonant elements of the film, even though emotion can be hard to buy from a bipedal turtle with huge muscles and a surfer dude accent. Something about that fantastical a creature rendered that realistically tests the limits of the uncanny valley. Ultimately, any sass, sentiment and personality are obliterated in the noisy chaos of the climax, which is a grayish brown blur of flying spaceship parts, whirling turtle shells and shouts of “the beacon!� It’s more cacophonous than cinematic, and loses the quirky charm of the cartoon in the avalanche of computer-generated violence.
LOS ANGELES — The creators of “The Sims� are opening up gender customization options for the first time in the long-running history of the popular life simulation video game. “The Sims� publisher Electronic Arts and developer Maxis said a free update available Thursday for “The Sims 4� will remove gender boundaries and allow players to create virtual townsfolk — or Sims, as they’re known — with any type of physique, walk style or voice they choose. “The Sims 4� and earlier installments of the 16year-old series previously restricted specific clothing, hair styles and other aesthetic options to either male or female characters. EA and Maxis said over 700 pieces of content previously available to only male or female Sims will now be accessible regardless of gender in “The Sims 4� and its various expansion packs. The studio said in a statement it wanted to “make sure players can create characters they can identify with or relate to through powerful tools that give them influence over a Sims’ gender, age, ethnicity, body type and more.�
While previous editions of “The Sims� have featured character customization restrictions based on gender, users have unofficially modified the PC game over the years to remove such barriers. “The Sims 4� executive producer Rachel Franklin said in an email to The Associated Press that the developers have been working for over a year on the update. She noted that “female Sims can wear sharp men’s suits like Ellen (DeGeneres), and male Sims can wear heels like Prince.� Franklin also noted players can now change their Sims’ gender at any time and specify whether they can reproduce with other characters. She said Maxis worked with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy group GLAAD on the update, including following a suggestion to remove gender symbols associated with characters in the game’s gallery. The move brings “The Sims� in line with its depiction of gay, lesbian and bisexual characters. The franchise has included same-sex relationship options since its 2000 debut, although gamers who desired virtual nuptials for their Sims of the same sex had to wait until the release of “The Sims 3� in 2009.
